Trey Burton says the reverse quarterback throwback is called the "Philly special." Asked just how bold of a play call that was, Burton said, "Have you ever seen a play call like that in the Super Bowl? I haven't."

ESPN Staff Writer

Tom Brady: "We moved the ball. The red area was something that hurt us in the first half. ... Never had control of the game, didn't play on our terms." On the pass to him in the second quarter, " he said, "Danny made a good play and I didn't catch it."

How do you beat the Patriots? You get to Tom Brady. The Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl after notching their first sack of the game.

Score: PHI 38, NE 33

NFL Nation

The NFL did the right thing by upholding Zach Ertz's touchdown. As referee Gene Steratore said, Ertz caught the ball and took more than two steps to establish possession before he dove over the goal line. In NFL catch-ese, Ertz became a runner and this was not an instance of going to the ground. He didn't need to control it "throughout the process."

ESPN Analytics

The ESPN Win Probability model strongly recommended going for it on the Eagles' 4th and 1 on their own 45. The decision alone (independent of the result) increased their chance of winning by 7.3%. They needed at least a 39% chance of success to make the risk worthwhile, and league average there is over 65%. A bold, but calculated decision that paid off.

Score: NE 33, PHI 32

The Patriots took their first lead of the game after Tom Brady connected with Rob Gronkowski for a 4-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to set up Stephen Gostkowski's extra point, moving New England ahead of Philadelphia.

ESPN Staff Writer

Can't think of a defensive answer for the Tom Brady TD pass to Rob Gronkowski. Fade route. Get the matchup advantage of Gronkowski and the throw from Brady. Tough spot for a DB in coverage.

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have tied the playoff passing touchdown record by a QB-receiver duo with 12. They matched 49ers HOFers Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.

Score: PHI 29, NE 19

NFL Nation

The NFL's decision to uphold Corey Clement's touchdown catch for the Eagles was defensible, but it was absolutely different than what we saw for most of the regular season. The ball moved after Clements first got it under control. After he regained control, Clements only got one foot in bounds. That's almost exactly the situation that caused NFL senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron to reverse a touchdown by Bills receiver Kelvin Benjamin late in the season. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has called for a re-write of the catch rule this offseason, and you wonder if that impacted Riveron's decision on this play.

Kevin Seifert, NFL Nation109d ago

ESPN Analytics

18% win probability swing for the catch-no catch booth review on the Corey Clement touchdown. The Eagles had an 89% chance to win following the touchdown, and would have had a 71% chance if incomplete. That's a bigger swing than any play in the first half had.

Score: PHI 22, NE 19

ESPN Staff Writer

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski took over on that TD drive. Seam, corner, hitch and then the pivot route for the score. There's the matchup.

ESPN Staff Writer

Drew up the Eagles "gadget" play on the fourth down call in the red zone. With Nick Foles (Q) walking up to the line of scrimmage, RB Corey Clement (H) takes the direct snap and pitches the ball back to TE Trey Burton (U). Foles takes a delayed release and runs to the flat. That's a wide open toss for Burton to hit the Eagles QB for the score.

Former Patriot LeGarrette Blount, who signed a one-year deal with the Eagles last offseason, already has a 36-yard run and a 21-yard touchdown scamper against his former team. Here's what Blount said last week about facing New England: "Straight enemy mode," he said. "Ain't no friends, no homies, none of that. ... I don't play for the Patriots anymore. I don't watch the Patriots. I don't care about the Patriots."

Patriots No. 1 wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been ruled out for the rest of the game with a head injury after taking a big hit from Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins in the second quarter. Cooks caught a 23-yard pass over the middle and circled in an attempt to gain extra yardage when he turned to the outside and ran into a thunderous hit by Jenkins.

The hit was legal, according to our experts:

NFL Nation

Eagles S Malcolm Jenkins hit Patriots WR Brandin Cooks with a big but legal hit to the helmet. Cooks had established possession and thus was not afforded protection as a defenseless player.

ESPN Analytics

Bill Belichick's decision -- the decision, not the miss -- to attempt a field goal on fourth-and-1 at the 8-yard line reduced the Patriots' chance to win by 2.7%, according to our win probability model.

Score: PHI 9, NE 3

ESPN Staff Writer

How's that for free-agent impact? LeGarrette Blount breaks off a 37-yard run, then Nick Foles drops one into Alshon Jeffery, who pulls down a 34-yardTD pass, the longest in Eagles Super Bowl history. None of those players were on the roster last year.

Well, now Jeffery is in the Super Bowl and playing well -- just not with the Bears. Jeffery, who signed a one-year deal with Philadelphia last offseason then got a four-year extension in December, has three catches for 73 yards and a touchdown so far in the first half.

Prop bet update:

ESPN Staff Writer

Alshon Jeffery cashes in with first TD at 8-1, after catching a 34-yard TD pass from Nick Foles.

The Patriots answer with a field goal to tie the game at 3.

This is the first time the Patriots have scored in the 1st quarter of a Super Bowl under Brady/Belichick.

Score: PHI 3, NE 0

ESPN Staff Writer

Good start from the Eagles, even if it only ends in three. Lot of McCourty vs. Ertz on third down, although looked like zone on that last play. If Patriots can’t stop the Eagles on third-and-12, they’re in trouble.

Bill Barnwell, ESPN Staff Writer109d ago

ESPN Staff Writer

Shades of Super Bowl XLII, as Eagles WR Torrey Smith pulls off a David Tyree-like helmet catch on 3rd and 12 to extend their opening drive and set up a Jake Elliott FG. Good mix of plays by Doug Pederson to get offense going, but Pats' defense stiffens near the goal line.

Tim McManus, ESPN Staff Writer109d ago

Kickoff

ESPN Staff Writer

The biggest surprise from a defensive game-plan perspective for the Patriots is that Malcolm Butler is not starting, with Eric Rowe getting the nod over him. The Patriots are primarily playing a "big nickel" package with three safeties. Rowe has been in coverage on both of the Eagles' first-down conversions on third down.

Mike Reiss, ESPN Staff Writer109d ago

Good thing the roof is closed:

ESPN Senior Writer

It's two degrees for kickoff, which means this is officially the coldest Super Bowl ever. Beats Super Bowl XVI in Detroit in 1982 — also played indoors — which had a low of five degrees that day.

Darren Rovell, ESPN Senior Writer109d ago

Questions to consider as the game kicks off:

The biggest question for the Pats D is how to deal with the RPO game from Philly. Do they load the box, press coverage, and dare Philly to beat them deep? Or do they play it soft, keep everything in front, and limit scoring drives to FGs.

ESPN Staff Writer

Asked if he will definitely be back in uniform next season, Tom Brady tells Westwood One: "You're gonna see me playing football next year. I don't envision not playing. You're at the end of the race but you've got your biggest mountain to climb right at the end. Hopefully all the lessons we've learned have allowed us to be at our very best for this moment and that's what it's going to take and that's what we're prepared for and that's what I go out and expect our team to do."

Temperatures are hovering around 0 degrees in Minneapolis, but luckily the game at U.S. Bank Stadium will be played indoors:

Some snow remains on the clear ETFE roof of U.S. Bank Stadium 3.5 hours before kickoff of Super Bowl LII. The roof is slanted, so the snow will slide into heated gutters that will melt it on the way to the sewer.

Wilson says Eagles have to stay composed

Russell Wilson explains that New England is a very disciplined team and for Philadelphia to get the win, they have to stay calm.

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz isn't suiting up Sunday night because of a torn ACL he suffered in mid-December, but he posted this message of support for Nick Foles:

My bro is gonna shine bright tonight! So excited to see him & this team go out and compete tonight. Been through it all this year as a team, & yet, here we are! WE ALL WE GOT. WE ALL WE NEED.
